the substantial union

marriage…the (substantial) union between two people.
marriage…an oath taken by two people that they will be together in good or bad times, and in sickness and in health… or something like that, right?

why we get married… who knows.? love, companionship, communication and more love?
so , after you’re married , are you supposed to remember to make mutual decisions together, show interest in your spouse and the stuff he/she does, make them laugh, be loving all the time, respect your spouse… et cetera…?
nope. you should not have to remember this. this should just come as second nature… that’s constant love. i think.
